The Daily News recently surveyed school lunchrooms to see if the "health-crazed Bloomberg administration," which "often touts how it has overhauled school lunches and slashed calories," has succeeded in making standard cafeteria fare healthier. According to some nutritionists, some of the "healthy" offerings may not cut the mustard.
The News reports that a simple toasted cheese sandwich on oat bread -- frozen and then heated in its plastic wrapper -- contained more than 30 ingredients, including high-fructose corn syrup, which the administration had vowed to cut out. "It just looks so greasy, you can tell it's unhealthy," observed a student at Clara Barton High School.
In our new poll, we ask: what's for lunch at your school, and how do you feel about it? Is it junk food or is it getting better? And whether kids get school lunch or packed lunch, what do they actually eat?
